Pena Coin Easy to Learn Quarter Money Magic Trick Empire

By Novelty Gifts Ideas On June 21, 2010 No Comments

Pena Coin

A Quarter Magically Penetrates Thru a Sheet of Rubber!

Very easy magic trick to do! Great for all ages!

Pretty Great Fun | Pena Coin MAgic Trick

A quarter magically penetrates through a piece of rubber sealing the top of a glass. An empty glass is shown with an opaque sheet of rubber stretched over the top and fastened with a rubber band. On top of the glass, two coins rest. The spectator selects a coin and without any false moves, you push the coin through the rubber sheet. The spectator watches in disbelief as it penetrates the rubber and falls with a loud clink into the glass below! Immediately, you hand everything out for examination. There are no holes in the rubber and no gimmicks or extra coins. You are left clean as a whistle. Based upon a clever principle, you’ll be able to perform this trick just minutes after reading the instructions. Pena-Coin comes with three re-usable rubber sheets. Use your own glass and rubber band. Pena-Coin works with any coins – US, UK, Canadian coins, etc.

I like to have the spectator push the coin thru. Having them do the magic so to speak. They feel it and hear it going thru. And yet when they examine the rubber sheet there is absolutely no holes in it. Great close-up trick.

You can use any house hold glass.

Each trick includes 3 rubber sheets and full instructions.

Rubber sheets are about 5″ x 5″ square.

Kids Love Magic Tricks – The 10 Rules to Become a Great Magician

Magic Tricks for Kids

Learn to do Magic!

Kids magic tricks can help children tremendously in building their self-confidence. When getting started there are a few rules to remember when performing them. Here are 10 things a true magician must always remember.

1. Never tell anyone how a trick is done.

2. Practice each trick over and over again until you can do it perfectly without mistake every time.

3. Make absolutely sure all your props are in perfect working order and look good – no scruffy wands or hats.

4. Keep your audience directly in front of you. Don’t let them sit beside or behind you.

5. Don’t repeat a trick in front of the same audience. They are only trying to figure out how the trick works.

6. Don’t tell your audience what you are going to do. It is better to let anticipation and suspense build as you perform your trick. You can however talk to your audience while performing your trick because this will help distract them.

7. Use expressions and gestures to enhance your act. For example, you can frown to show you are concentrating hard, or stand still without speaking to gain your audience’s attention.

8. Once you have learned a trick and can perform it, you can alter it. This can be great fun!

9. Practice and perfect the story you tell while performing each trick – it’s what makes you different from another person who performs the same one.

10. Perform against a dark background under a good light.

Whether you just want to have fun with your kids magic tricks or become a master magician it is very important to know that being able to do this tricks enable you to play with people’s minds. Use it in a positive way.

One of our favorite magic tricks is the Pena Coin trick.
